Floating handle

Abstract

The invention is a floating handle system for a debris handling machine. The debris handling machine picks up leaves and debris along the roadside. The debris handling machine is comprised of a vacuum blower that sucks up leaves through a hose. Attached to the blower vacuum is a biasing system consisting of an L-shaped biasing piece that extends upward vertically from the blower vacuum and then horizontally in the plane of the hose. Attached to the distal end of the L-shaped piece is a biasing chain. The other end of the biasing chain is attached to the hose. The handle assembly is a front handle that is permanently attached to the distal end of the hose and a floating handle that can move over the hose from the front handle to the point at which the biasing chain is attached to the hose.
